About this episode

Jax interviews Angela Haun about the complexities of protecting critical infrastructure and the realities of cybersecurity risks.

In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, Jax sits down with Angela Haun, Executive Director of the ONE-ISAC and a former FBI Special Agent with over two decades of experience protecting critical infrastructure. Angela brings a rare, real-world perspective on cybersecurity—one where cyber incidents don’t just mean data loss, but physical consequences, national security implications, and economic disruption. She shares what it actually takes to protect the oil and natural gas sector, why information sharing is harder than everyone claims, and where leaders continue to underestimate risk. This conversation explores: - Why cyber threats to critical infrastructure are fundamentally different - The realities of information sharing across highly regulated industries - How trust is built and broken between private industry and government - Why boards still struggle to understand cyber risk in physical terms - The uncomfortable truths leaders need to hear about preparedness and accountability If you care about cybersecurity beyond buzzwords where cyber meets physical, economic, and national security this episode is essential listening.
